Sarah Palin is considering a run for president. In the meantime she is clearly one of the leading voices in the Republican party and on FOX News. America has a right to ask and she has a responsibility to answer the tough questions. She has willingly made herself the focus of many controversial statements – “paling around with terrorists”.

No, there is not a scintilla of evidence linking Palin to the shooter but clearly she and her advisors are feeling awkward about the gun sight graphic since they have removed the webpage in question and her advisor tried to spin that the gun sight was actually a surveyors scope sight. Palin needs to explain what the point of her gun sight graphics are. What is the point of saying – “Don’t retreat – reload?” If that is the way she inspires her supporters to vote then she should say so.
